   A theory that the recent outbreak of monkeypox may be tied to   
   sexual activity has put the gay community in an unfortunate   
   position, having fought back against previous and continued   
   stigma around HIV and AIDS, an LGBTQ2S+ centre director says.   
      
   David Hawkins, executive director of the West Island LGBTQ2+   
   Centre in Beaconsfield, Que., told CTV News Channel on Saturday   
   that the situation is frustrating, and he worries the   
   conversation around monkeypox will indirectly impact and   
   stigmatize the LGBTQ2S+ — lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender,   
   queer, two-spirit and other — community yet again.   
      
   "We have very strong community organizations that are working to   
   destigmatize HIV and AIDS still, and they still have a lot of   
   work to do and they're doing that work, but I think the reality   
   is, is that we may also need to start having this conversation   
   about monkeypox," Hawkins said.   
      
   A number of western countries, including Canada, have reported   
   cases of monkeypox.   
      
   Black and gay, you will pay.
